The article is devoted to the study of the influence of hydrocolloids and animal protein concentrates on the formation of the foam-like structure of gluten-free non-yeast dough as the main factor for bread quality formation. The use of CMC in a concentration of 0.5% is found to be appropriate. The bread volume increases to 236 cm3.100g-1 in comparison with the control sample in water – 202 cm3.100g-1. It is proved that the suggested additives in the amounts of 0.5 ‒ 1.0% Helios-11 and 0.5% CMC solution cause 100% resistance of egg white foam. In this case, the foaming ability increases with the addition of Helios-11 only in amounts up to 1.0%, then decreases for higher amounts of Helios-11 or in the presence of CMC. This can be explained by the increase in density of the whipping mass and the ability of both additives to thicken solutions. In the presence of the additives, the foamy texture of the dough changes. The number of large pores (0.7 – 1.5 mm) decreases almost fourfold, and the number of small and very small pores (0.1 ‒ 0.5 mm) increases significantly. The index of form resistance of the control sample is 32, and in the presence of 0.5% CMC with 0.5 ‒ 1.0% APC is 20 ‒ 21, which indicates a decrease in the surface tension of the aqueous solutions with additives, to a large extent, in the case of joint use.
Homogenization, which is used in the technological schemes of production of most dairy products, is the most energy-intensive of the processes of mechanical processing of milk. One promising way to increase the energy efficiency of homogenization is to use separate homogenization and to use a little-researched stream homogenizer with separate cream feeding. The principle of its action is to pre-divide milk into cream and skim milk, and feed the fat phase with a thin stream into the stream of skim milk. This creates the conditions for achieving the high value of the Weber criterion – the main factor in the dispersion of milk fat. The purpose of these researches is to conduct experimental studies and determine the energy consumption and quality of homogenization of milk after treatment in a stream homogenizer. To achieve this goal, a designed experimental setup was used. The dispersive indices of the milk emulsion were determined by computer analysis of micrographs of milk samples obtained with an optical microscope and a digital camera using Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Visual Studio C # software using the OpenCV Sharp library. As a result of experimental studies, the critical value of the Weber criterion for homogenization of milk was determined, which is 28. The regularities of dispersion of milk fat in a stream homogenizer with separate feeding of the fat phase have been established. It is determined that the milk treatment in the experimental homogenizer allows us to achieve an emulsion with an average size of fat globules of about 0.8 μm (at the level of valve homogenizers). The value of the homogenization coefficient is obtained for the disruption of the fat globule in the conditions: subject to a single effect on the emulsion, without the influence of vibration and cavitation. This homogenization coefficient equals 3300 m3/2.s-1.
Centrifugal and vibrational technological effects are among the main approaches to intensify the process of plant raw materials hydrolysis for pectin extraction. With the impulse intensification of such a process, it is possible not only to increase its efficiency, but also to achieve the compactness of the equipment, reduce the cost of electricity and improve the quality of the product of hydrolysis. The hypothesis is confirmed, according to which the vibro-centrifugal intensification of hydrolysis increases the driving force of the process by not only activating the material flows of raw materials and reagents, but also by reducing the resistance in the technological environment. Graphical and analytical dependencies of the power and energy parameters of the oscillatory system were obtained, which proved the overcoming of the flow resistance of the liquid medium in the entire speed range of the drive shaft with the potential to intensify the process at a power consumption of 2.0 – 3.0 kW and or by the force of 2.3 – 2.5 kN using the Lagrange and Cauchy methods for composing and solving the equations of motion of the moving components of the tested hydrolyser with vibrating activators, and the methods of mathematical analysis and their processing in the MathCAD. The analysis of the presented parameters of the studied process of mixing the pectin-containing mass in the hydrolyser allowed us to determine the rational mode parameters of processing, which correspond to the angular velocity of the drive shaft rad/s at the power consumption of 500 – 600 watts.
Homogenization is a necessary process in the production of drinking milk and most dairy products. The specific energy consumption of the most common valve homogenizers reaches 8 kW h.t-1. A promising way to reduce it is the introduction of more effective counter-jet homogenizers. The purpose of these studies is to increase the efficiency of machines of this type through fuller use of their kinetic energy. To achieve this, the design of a ring reflector was developed and experimental studies were carried out to determine its influence on the efficiency of milk fat dispersion in a counter-jet homogenizer. Calculations were made to determine the reflector’s design parameters. An installation for experimental research has been developed, in which the required milk pressure is created with the help of compressed carbon dioxide. The dispersive indices of the milk emulsion were determined by computer analysis of milk sample micrographs obtained with an optical microscope and a digital camera using Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Visual Studio C# software using the OpenCV Sharp library. As a result of research, the formula for defining the angle of the reflector top has been determined analytically. Experimental studies proved its validity and allowed determination of the optimal diameter. A comparison of the dependence of the degree of homogenization on the excess pressure in a counter-jet homogenizer proves a 15 – 20% increase in the degree of dispersion when using a reflector. At the same time, specific energy consumption does not increase. Comparison of the distribution curves of milk fat globules by size after counter-jet homogenization and homogenization with a reflector suggests that the average diameter of fat globules for the experimental method decreases from 0.99 to 0.83 μm. This indicates the high quality of the dispersal characteristics of the milk emulsion after processing in a counter-jet homogenizer with a reflector.
The demand for monofloral, original, and special (functional) kinds of honey, or those with geographical indication, is forecast. At the same time, there is a need to improve the methods for determining the botanical and geographical origin of honey. The purpose of the research was to select and apply a variety of techniques for identifying the botanical origin of honey for its correspondence to acacia species. Samples of honey from the Kyiv, Odesa, and Dnipro regions extracted in the spring and summer period were used in the research. Organoleptic, physicochemical, NMR spectrometry, and advanced melissopalynology methods were applied. The tests were carried out at the laboratories of the Department of Certification and Standardization of Agricultural Products, NULES, Ukraine; the Ukrainian Laboratory of Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products; and the Bruker BioSpin GmbH company (Germany). According to the research results, the requirements for acacia honey were met by the organoleptic method for samples B1 and B2; by the physicochemical method for A0 and A2; by NMR spectroscopy for not a single sample, all being assessed as polyfloral; and by pollen analysis for B1 and B2. The conducted studies confirm the need for a comprehensive approach to the identification of the botanical origin of honey for its conformity to acacia species. There is a need to review the physicochemical indicators for the compliance of honey with the acacia species obtained in Ukraine. After all, even the modern NMR spectrometry technique indicated that the specially fabricated sample that did not contain acacia pollen grains was acacia honey. Identification of the botanical origin of monofloral honey, in particular acacia, should be carried out in the following sequence: pollen analysis (by dominant pollen grains), safety (presence of antibiotics, pesticides), physicochemical parameters according to international requirements, organoleptic parameters.
Відновлення деталей типу «вал» при одночасному підвищенні їх ресурсу-важливий резерв розвитку та підвищення ефективності ремонтного виробництва. Підвищення зносостійкості та довговічності деталей сільськогосподарської техніки і машин є пріоритетним напрямком сучасного машинобудування. З цією метою виконаний аналіз та розглянуто процес електроконтактного зміцнення напилених зносостійких покриттів деталей типу «вал». Проведені експериментальні дослідження фізико-механічних властивостей зносостійких покриттів, отриманих комбінованою технологією. Встановлені залежності міцності зчеплення, пористості напилених зносостійких покриттів від струму і тиску процесу електроконтактного зміцнення. Зі збільшенням тиску зміцнення до 30-40 МПа і сили струму до 14-16 кА спостерігається зростання міцності зчеплення напиленого покриття до 180...220 МПа та зниження пористості до 2…5 %. Зносостійкість покриттів, отриманих за комбінованою технологією, у всьому діапазоні досліджених навантажень і швидкостей виявилася вищою, ніж у покриттів, отриманих окремо за класичними технологіями газополуменевого і електродугового напилення. Найвищі показники зносостійкості виявлено у покриття з матеріалу ФМІ-2, отриманого комбінованою технологією. Дослідження втомної міцності зміцнених деталей показали, що покриття отримані комбінованою технологією підвищили межу витривалості деталей, відновлених напиленням, на 20 %, а деталей без покриттів-на 50 %. Проведена порівняльна оцінка фізико-механічних і експлуатаційних властивостей покриттів отриманих електродуговим, газополуменевим напиленням та комбінованою технологією. Встановлено, що застосування електроконтактного зміцнення напилених зносостійких покриттів при тиску 20...40 МПа, силі струму 11...16 кА, тривалості імпульсів струму і пауз 0,02...0,04 с, значно підвищилися їх фізико-механічні властивості та експлуатаційні характеристики.
